    This is my issue with redditors deleting all their content from reddit. I agree with leaving because of the policy changes, but I think that adopting a scorched earth policy, mostly harms other users.

      Indeed. I at least think they should repost the helpful information here to Lemmy so that users still have access to it, I understand driving traffic away from Reddit but we should keep that useful information open to the community.

        Very often that info is the result of a full conversation:

        1. I have problem A.
        2. Try B
        3. Not, working, I get error C
        4. Ah, change D in your config
        5. Now it’s working, thanks.

        That means automatation is more complicated, and there’s also the legal aspect.

        It’s still very possible, but it probably stops quite a few people that considered this.
